Building communication skills in children is a goal that many parents share.  Finding ways to enhance these skills that our children find fun and engaging can be a challenge.  Here is a game that can be created with a few school/office supplies and some creativity.  We often play this game with children in our Social Skills Training program to expand their conversation abilities.

Materials Needed
1 Butterfly Catching Pieces Sheet
1 sheet (8×11) of cardstock
Colorful photos (e.g. from magazines, stickers)
Scissors
Markers
Clear packing tape
Glue Stick

Optional Materials for a more interactive game
Adhesive magnets, paperclips, or metal brads (positive)
Magnetic fishing rod (negative) – You can find these at your local dollar store or online at Lillian Vernon or Amazon.com
